There was held an emergency meeting of the National Assembly of Parliament of Abkhazia.

Sukhum. May 20. Apsnypress. Only 2 documents were passed to the agenda of the session of the National Assembly of Parliament of Abkhazia: Resolution “On the Abolition of the Resolution of the National Assembly of Parliament of the Republic of Abkhazia“ On the designation of the elections of President of Abkhazia ”dated April 14, 2019 and“ On the appointment of the elections of President of the RA ”, As well as the Resolution“ On the Draft Constitutional Law of the Republic of Akhazia “On the Imposition of a Moratorium on the Effects of Article 6 of the Constitutional Law of the Republic of Abkhazia“ On the Election of President of the Republic of Abkhazia ”.

Opening the session, Speaker of the Parliament Valery Kvarchia stressed that the deputies had been expressing concern for a month about the state of health of the deputy Aslan Bzhania and the exacerbation of the political situation in this regard. “Bzhania is our friend, colleague, we treat him well. This is a well-known person, a potential presidential candidate. I think they want to push us on purpose, loosen the state, ” - speaker said.

Valery Kvarchia also commented on the draft documents: “We have prepared draft resolutions, there was created a commission. This question has legal and moral sides. The decision is very significant for future generations. ”

The package of documents was presented by Deputy Lasha Ashuba: “The Parliamentary Commission for drafting the Constitutional Law of the Republic of Abkhazia“ On imposing a moratorium on the effect of Article 6 of the Constitutional Law of the Republic of Abkhazia on the Election of President of the Republic of Abkhazia ”and the Resolution on the Election of President of the Republic of Abkhazia ...” Lasha Ashuba, Kakha Pertaya, Valeriy Agrba came to the following conclusions: introduce a moratorium on Article 6 of the RA Constitutional Law “On the Election of President of the RA” before November 23, 2019; The RA President continues to fulfill his duties until the newly elected President takes the oath; recognize the decree “On the appointment of the election of President of the Republic of Abkhazia” dated April 4, 2019 and appoint the election of President of the Republic of Abkhaia on Saturday, November 23, 2019 ”.

At the same time, the plenipotentiary representative of President in the Parliament, Dmitry Shamba, stressed the legal groundlessness of the documents: “Different points of view on this issue were considered: the moral side of the issue, both political and legal. I will speak only about the legal side of the issue. Each deputy will be guided, among other things, by these positions when voting. According to the draft constitutional law on the imposition of a moratorium: in our opinion, it is Article 6 that singles out the powers of Parliament to call elections. If we suspend the actions of Article 6, the powers of the Parliament to appoint elections are suspended. At the same time, the time frame is not defined in this draft law, only a condition is defined, before the occurrence of which the current president continues to fulfill his duties. In our opinion, this draft law, which is proposed for your consideration, is not of a legal nature. ”

As a result of the voting, the moratorium on the operation of Article 6 of the RA Constitutional Law “On the Election of President of the Republic of Abkhazia” was not adopted. Only 14 out of 32 deputies voted for the bill.
